These classes are designed for advanced ESL students and are offered through Wake Tech’s Workforce Continuing Education Services at locations within Wake County. They focus on specific areas, such as Oral Communication, Writing Skills and Pronunciation, and vary from semester to semester. There is a small fee for these classes.

Karina,
As far as I know, we do not currently offer “Beyond the Basics” (Advanced ESL) classes on our Main or West Campuses. If you are interested in more information about these classes, contact Susan Ballard at seballard@waketech.edu or 919-334-1536.
What’s the difference between EFL classes and Beyond the Basic classes?
